Noah's awakening was not a gentle transition into power but a bewildering revelation that shattered the known rules of this new magical era. After consuming the Fireball skill book, his personal stat panel materialized, a familiar interface for all Awakened. Yet, his displayed attributes held a terrifying anomaly: his Focus stat, the very wellspring of magical energy, was conspicuously blank. Panic threatened to overwhelm him. How could he cast spells without a measurable mana pool? Was he broken, forever relegated to the fringes of this violent world? The answer arrived not in understanding, but in an act of sheer desperation. He cast Fireball, then again, and again. Five hundred times he unleashed the humble F-rank spell, then a thousand, then three thousand, all without a hint of exhaustion. His Focus, seemingly nonexistent, was in fact infinite. This was the cheat, a boundless well of power in a world defined by scarcity, an unprecedented advantage that propelled him from a struggling beginner to a force capable of rewriting the rules of survival. This boundless mana ignited a thrilling, dangerous journey, transforming the familiar apocalypse survival narrative into an explosive saga of unparalleled power progression, blending the gritty realism of a broken world with the fantastical potential of an infinite resource.
A wild thought keeps appearing in my head that I do not want to entertain as it is too grand...the possibility that because my Focus appears blank, and I can repeatedly continue to cast skills with no feeling of exhaustion...could mean that I can simply keep on casting skills as much as I want…
Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse
The moment Noah Osmont's stat panel flashed with a blank Focus attribute, a wave of despair threatened to drown his nascent hope in a post-apocalyptic world. However, a desperate venture into a desolate field to test his newly acquired F-rank Fireball skill transformed his confusion into an earth-shattering revelation. Five initial casts, then ten, then fifty, then a staggering five hundred, and finally, over three thousand consecutive Fireballs erupted from his hand without a flicker of fatigue. His Focus was not absent; it was infinite. This unparalleled cheat became the cornerstone of his meteoric rise. Immediately, Noah adopted a strategy of calculated deception, feigning mediocrity during his Awakened License exam while secretly planning to leverage his boundless mana. His first solo dive into the F-rank Ape's Paradise dungeon was a blur of ceaseless Fireballs, annihilating hordes of monsters and clearing all ten floors in under thirty minutes, a feat unheard of for a supposed F-rank hunter. The spoils, a Minor Heal skill book and dozens of cores, fueled his ambition. Undeterred, he ventured into the E-rank Frozen Wasteland, where the boss, a colossal polar bear, nearly ended his journey, forcing a brutal lesson in the necessity of robust defenses. This near-death experience, however, only solidified his resolve, leading him to acquire the E-rank Arctic Armor and the D-rank offensive Flames of Torment and defensive Safeguard. He then embarked on a relentless grind, repeatedly clearing the Frozen Wasteland, maximizing his F and E-rank attribute points, and amassing a fortune in cores and skill books, all while meticulously hiding the true extent of his power. This initial phase established his unique advantage and set the stage for an explosive power progression, turning the conventional struggle of a rookie hunter into a calculated, unstoppable ascent.
Noah discovers his infinite mana, rapidly clears low-rank dungeons, and systematically acquires stronger skills while hiding his true power.
The arrival of Cohen Anderson, the city's domineering B-rank hunter, marked a critical turning point, as he arrogantly commanded Noah to join his team for the perilous C-rank Solael's Castle dungeon. Anderson's disdain for Noah's hidden strength only fueled Noah's resolve, leading him to meticulously prepare by relentlessly farming the D-rank Goblin King's Abode. There, he amassed a formidable arsenal of C-rank skills, including the impenetrable Arcanist's Sphere of Protection, the life-saving Danger Sense, and the devastating Explosive Rune, along with a suite of supportive abilities. The subsequent dive into Solael's Castle was a tense display of Noah's controlled power, as he judiciously employed only Flames of Torment, allowing Anderson to underestimate him further. The climax erupted when Anderson, in a calculated act of malice, intentionally engineered an "accident" to test and harm Noah, only for Noah's layered defenses to effortlessly repel the attack. Rachel, a fellow new hunter, bravely confronted Anderson's treachery, igniting a furious monologue from the B-ranker, who, fueled by his Wrathful inherent skill, physically assaulted her. This act of overt tyranny shattered Noah's restraint. Intervening decisively, Noah unleashed the true potential of his infinite mana, plastering Anderson with unseen Explosive Runes, systematically dismantling the arrogant hunter limb by limb. The battle culminated in Anderson's shocking demise, a public overthrow of the city's strongest. In the aftermath, Noah inherited Anderson's B-rank Giant's Strength skill and his status as Outer Bank X's preeminent hunter, his authority now cemented through undeniable power.
Noah defeats the tyrannical B-rank hunter Cohen Anderson, revealing his true strength and taking his place as the city's top protector.
With Cohen Anderson's tyranny dismantled and the balance of power in Outer Bank X restored, Noah swiftly elevated Rachel to the status of a B-rank hunter, ensuring the city's continued defense before accepting an imperial summons. His journey led him to Star City, a formidable core defense hub, where he met Vice Admiral Magnar. There, Noah was privy to a chilling confidential file: aerial photographs revealing an apocalyptic horde of beasts, spearheaded by a colossal, moving landmass of a turtle, inexorably advancing towards the Blessed Empire. This existential threat, capable of causing billions of casualties, exposed the perilous complacency of the Empire's higher echelons and underscored the urgent need for resources. Noah immediately pledged his aid, joining a seasoned B-rank team to clear the treacherous Mangrove Swamp dungeon. He quickly assessed their coordinated tactics and powerful skills, absorbing a crucial B-rank offensive skill, Miniature Tornado, directly from Magnar to enhance his combat prowess. His pursuit of power escalated further when he entered the Coliseum's Free-for-All, a brutal competition for a coveted A-rank Flight skill. Employing strategic stealth and calculated timing, Noah outmaneuvered and decisively defeated the remaining peak B-rank hunters, securing the invaluable A-rank skill. This period marked a significant expansion of Noah's world, introducing him to the grand scale of imperial politics, a looming global catastrophe, and his own rapid ascent to the very precipice of A-rank power.
Noah learns of a world-ending threat, joins the Empire's defense, and acquires a crucial A-rank skill, pushing him closer to true A-rank power.
Noah's relentless solo-clearing of the B-rank Mangrove Swamp dungeon propelled his attributes to the peak of B-rank, yielding a torrent of powerful B-rank skills like Golden Halo, Doom Bolt, and an array of speed and defense buffs. This rapid ascent, however, drew the ire of Andrei Nikolaev, son of Admiral Chekhov, who felt entitled to the A-rank Flight skill Noah had acquired. A mandatory Death Match was declared, a high-stakes duel Magnar's influence could not prevent. In the packed Coliseum, Noah faced Andrei, a formidable mage wielding A-rank Regal Armament and Frigid Impermanence. Noah's mastery of layered defenses, including A-rank Flight for agile evasion, C-rank Arcanist's Sphere of Protection, and B-rank Golden Halo, coupled with his infinite mana spam of B-rank Doom Bolts, systematically dismantled Andrei's formidable, yet limited, A-rank abilities. Despite Admiral Chekhov's direct intervention to spare his son, Noah, with unwavering resolve, defied the command and delivered the killing blow, securing Andrei's A-rank skills. A tense, brief clash with the enraged Admiral, an A-rank powerhouse, was diffused by the timely arrival of another A-rank hunter, Elizabeth. Officially declared the new leader of Outer Bank X's elite squad, Noah continued his relentless grind, acquiring more A-rank skills. The narrative climaxed with a profound encounter with the Planetary Core, revealing Noah's inherent Vampyre Progenitor bloodline and the cosmic scale of the invasion: a Chaos Legion threatening universal dissolution. Tasked with destroying the Black Dragon in the United Federation, Noah's journey transformed from local heroics to a pivotal role in a multi-world conflict.
Noah defies an Admiral, kills his son to assert dominance, then learns his true destiny as a Progenitor against a cosmic Chaos Legion.
Noah begins as a struggling survivor in a post-apocalyptic world, but his awakening grants him the unprecedented cheat of infinite mana, allowing him to endlessly cast any skill. This trump card enables his explosive power progression, rapidly clearing dungeons, accumulating skills and items, and systematically surpassing all opponents. His journey includes strategically hiding his true strength, dismantling the tyrannical local B-rank hunter Cohen Anderson, and defying a powerful A-rank Admiral, Chekhov, to assert his dominance. Ultimately, he is revealed to be a Vampyre Progenitor, chosen by the Planetary Core to defend Earth from a cosmic Chaos Legion, transforming him into a pivotal figure in a multi-world conflict.
Cohen Anderson is introduced as the B-rank hunter dominating Outer Bank X, wielding the inherent skill Wrathful, which amplifies his power with anger. He uses his strength to control the city's hunters, demanding their allegiance and resources for his team's dungeon dives into Solael's Castle. His arrogance and disdain lead him to intentionally endanger Noah during a shared dungeon raid, provoking a fatal confrontation. Despite his formidable power and B-rank status, he tragically underestimates Noah's hidden, infinite mana abilities, leading to his swift and brutal defeat, a face-slapping moment that establishes Noah's superior power and leadership.
Andrei Nikolaev is presented as the ambitious son of Admiral Chekhov, a high-ranking A-rank hunter and influential figure in the Empire. Possessing two A-rank skills, Regal Armament and Frigid Impermanence, he considers himself next in line for the prestigious A-rank title. His sense of entitlement leads him to challenge Noah to a Death Match after Noah unexpectedly acquires the A-rank Flight skill that Andrei believed was his. Despite his considerable power, Andrei's limited mana pool proves no match for Noah's infinite mana and layered defenses. His defeat, even with his father's intervention, solidifies Noah's position as a rising force capable of defying the Empire's elite.
